a newbie question

i just started using vb.net, and my question is - how do u show another form? (im using windows application in vb 6 platform)

thanks... :wave:

I'm not sure to understand well, but if your problem is 'to show a form', first of all you have to instance it :

Dim FrmGoofy as new FormIdesignedYesterday

then

FrmGoofy.Show

If you already use Vb6 it should be not too difficult...anyway I'm here if you need. Good job

:) :wave:

' Dim Form2 As New Form2()
' Form1.Show()
' Me.Hide()
'Form2.Hide()

something like that.

i wanted a intro form with a button on it. the button is a enter button and when you click it, this takes you too the main form, i think the above code would go on the enter button but im not sure how you instance it in the other from?>

does anyone know it this is correct?

i still can't get one main form to close and another one to show?

:cry:

I'm not sure to understand exactly what you need, but if you are on the start form and you need to hide the start form (Form1) and to show a second Form (Form2) on the click event of a button, try this:

VB Code:

Dim FormAName As New Form2
        Me.Hide()
        FormAName.ShowDialog()
        Me.Show()
        FormAname.Close()
        FormAName.Dispose()

Form1 will disappear and Form2 will appear, when you click the button. Then when you'll close form2, using the x button in the right high corner, Form1 will appear again.
Is it useful for you?:confused:
Good job!:)
